My grandma Rose would take me to Mission Mall Foot Locker twice a year and let me pick out a new pair of shoes. I always buy what shoes I like, and as I add more and more to my collection I am starting to go for the quality of the shoe, instead of all the general release stuff. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, if I had it as a kid and it&#8217;s re-releasing now, you know I\u2019m getting it! Nowadays, <em>JB puts out so many shoes<\/em>, I feel like some of them are rushed and the colors and shoe just don\u2019t pop like all the classics I grew up buying and collecting. All true sneakerheads know the feeling when a shoe is releasing and you just have to add it to the collection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photography by Lou Ann Balderston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection Starter: Air Jordan 10 &#8220;Ice Blue&#8221; (2005)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The pair that started it all are my <strong>&#8220;Ice Blue&#8221; 10s<\/strong> in 2005. I was 19 years old driving to work and stopped by the Harold Pener on my way. I saw these on the shelf, and I had to have them. I bought two pairs back when you could walk into a shoe store and buy shoes, instead of camp out for days. I am thankful now that I still have these in my collection, since they have not been released since.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Frequent Wear: Air Jordan 3 White\/Cement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I wear my <strong>&#8220;Cement&#8221; 3s<\/strong> the most because honestly I feel like they are the most comfortable. It also helps that I am a third, so I naturally love all the 3s. I have gone through so many pairs wearing them everyday, but no matter what I replace them with, you always need a pair of 3s in your collection!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Personal Favorite: Air Jordan 5 &#8220;Doernbecher&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The DB5 is my personal favorite, because I missed original release online. I was so sick that I didn\u2019t get a pair! From then on, I was on a personal mission to get a pair, then by a stroke of luck, Nike restocked them one night when I was off of work, and I wasn\u2019t missing out a second time. Ever since then, I felt so fortunate to have gotten them on a restock. They have always been my trophy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Rare Pair: Air Jordan 13 &#8220;Ray Allen&#8221; PE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;My most rare pair is my <strong>&#8220;Ray Allen&#8221; 13s<\/strong>, since they were only released in Miami and Boston. I remember back in 2011 when JB talked about releasing them, I had to pull all the strings I could to get a pair. I had a close friend living in Boston at the time, and he was able to grab them for me after I spent days working deals to secure my pair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Oldest Pair: OG Air Jordan 11 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221; (2006)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;My oldest pair is for sure my <strong>OG &#8220;Bred&#8221; 11s<\/strong>. Ever since I saw Michael wear them in 1996 when he played, I knew I had to have them in my collection. I feel like this is one of the most recognized and iconic shoes of all time, unfortunately JB saturated the market with these on the re-release, so most people can\u2019t see the iconic value in these.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>All photography by Lou Ann Balderston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Post a picture of your collection as a whole on Instagram with the hashtag #communitycollections, or send it to info@snkrsday.com for a chance to be featured on Snkrs Day&#8217; next edition of Community Collections.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community Collections swings through Kansas City to put the spotlight on a sneaker stash that is stacked to the ceiling&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4655,"featured_media":385400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1207912,1215390,618],"tags":[1225861,1217792,1215671,1215586],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Community Collections: Don Budd | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Community Collections: Don Budd shoes.
